I highly doubt China and the U.S will ever come to blows:

#1) Both countries have nuclear capabilities. It doesn't matter who has how many troops, or better technology. A war such as China vs. USA would not be some simple skirmish, it would be a full out war because there would be so much at stake. The US would have no qualms about firing a nuke in such a case, and China would probably be ready to fire a nuke right back. And they wouldn't fire just one nuke....

#2) China does not have the necessary supplies for a long battle to actually "win" anything. Even right now, China is slowly working its way to starvation. It has a huge population, with agricultural areas being destroyed to make housing for the growing population. There is no way it would be able to sustain a long battle.

Also, China relies HEAVILY on imports from other countries. During a war, trade would be disrupted, and China would just crumble.

#3) As someone said before, America is entangled over in the Middle-East and can't afford to have another war on their hands. They wouldn't want to have a long battle, aaaand they'd just nuke China. Plain and simple.


There is very little chance of any 'huge' wars ever happening, simply because of nuclear missiles. Any land that would be captured would have huge amounts of radiation because the other side would not accept a loss, making it inhabitable.
